CHAPTER SEVEN

"These are some of the pictures of the mansions you asked for" the real estate agent said handing Alex a folder that contains the picture if the houses.

He decided to buy a mansion here in New York City since that headquarters of his company is based in New York. He went through a few pictures of the houses but one house in particular caught his attention.

"This one. I like it"

"Great choice sir. This particular mansion is the biggest and the most expensive".

"How is the mansion?". "Can I see it now"?. He asked.

"yes sir".

"Ok, Laura, please come to my office now".

"Sir? You need something?"

"Reschedule my meetings for this morning to the afternoon. I have to step out for a few hours."Alex instructed his PA.

"Yes sir will do" She said leaving his office.

The drive to the mansion was short being that the neighborhood was not far from the city and his company. it was a 20minutes drive. Once in the neighborhood Alex noticed it was quiet, he liked it. He really is not a fan of a roudy environment. The houses there were not more than five and have a good distance from each other. The mansion was the third one amongst the rest and the largest. They drove past the electronic gate and came to a stop near the fountain.

Alex was in awe of the building. it's not a mansion, it was more of a castle fit for a king just the way he likes it. He couldn't help the thought of seeing Brie and the kids running around the house. A small smile manning his handsome face

"With your expression sir, I'll take it that you like it?. The real estate agent asked happy that he's client is happy with the choice he made. There's not more satisfying than working with the most powerful businessman across the continent and meeting his demand without any problems.

"Shall we sir?. "Yes ". They went into the mansion and oh lala it's definitely the most beautiful house.

It has two living rooms, five guest rooms downstairs. The kitchen is large, the dining room could fit at least 20 people. There's a back door leading to the swimming pool, a pouch and veranda where a family can have a relaxing moment. There's also a glass door that leads back to the living room. The backyard is huge and flowers or anything could be planted.

They made there way upstairs. It has eight master bedrooms, a theater room, game room, a living room, a library and two in built offices.

"Let's discuss the price. "Alex said to the real estate agent who's name he came to know to be Gavin.

"How much is it?"He asked seriously going all business mode.

"It's a 200 million dollars mansion".

"Ok, let's head back and I'll write you a check."

"I'll ask my assistant to meet us at your building with the papers.

"Sure am sure my lawyer is already waiting for me at the company"Alex replied.

Just like he said. He's lawyer and friend was already waiting for him. "Hey man" "Yo bro, quite a long time I've seen you". Mason said smiling at his friend. "You saw me two day ago" he said rolling his eyes at his friend's remark. He signed the papers and made the payment. Now the mansion belongs to him. Once the agent was gone. His friend turned to him.

"So now what's next?" Mason asked.

" I'll need an interior designer for the house".

"You have anyone in mind?". "Yeah, I have.

"Who? he asked again. "Are you interrogating me now?" Alex asked frustrated. "I am a lawyer for a reason" he said sarcastically.

"Do that to your client and stop frustrating me. By the way why are you still here?"

"Oh my god, Mason faked hurt. You don't want me here? How can you be this mean to your friend? He whined. Alex rolled his eyes at him.

"You know if you keep rolling your eyes like that it going to end up at the back of your brain". Mason said seriously.

"Alex laughed at his choice of words. "You know sometimes I wonder why you're a lawyer."

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out." He said smirking.

"Ok I've disturbed you enough, I have to get going now , I have a case in court in...... looking at his watch "An hour." And he left after bidding good bye.

The hours went by swiftly and it was night, checking his watch, it read 8:30pm and he still has some documents to go over. Gathering the documents he needs and switching off his laptop. He grabbed his suitcase, phone and car keys and headed out. The drive back home was short and soon he was parking his car in the parking lot. Getting out and grabbing his things he went inside.

"Evening dad".,"Hey son, how was work today?". His dad inquired. "As usual".

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"No dad, and am really hungry". "Miss D made your favorite today" His dad grumbled. "Let me guess you guys argued again today?". He asked going to the kitchen to warm up his dinner. "Yep "

"You know dad, you can't get Miss D to cook your favorite food unless she wants to. I wonder why you always argue with the woman". Alex said giving his dad a pointed look.

"Aren't you supposed to be on my side? You're my son for God sake."his Dad muttered.

"Am always on Miss D's side and you Know that".

"Yeah right" he rolled his eyes.

He ate his food and was about to head upstairs when he turned and looked at his dad who was watching a show.

"Dad weight be moving soon to a new house".

"Why?".

"I bought a house today In a quiet neighborhood and trust me you're gonna love it. He said with a huge grin. "Judging by the grin on your face, it must really be nice". "Ok when are we moving?".

"Soon, it needs to be equiped and an interior designer to work on the designs for each room in the house.".

"That's great son. Good night his dad said getting up and heading to his room."

"Night dad,."
